CHRISTMAS TREE MINI-CINNAMON ROLLS



Christmas Tree Mini-Cinnamon Rolls image

I used to make this with my three children on Christmas morning, while the coffee was brewing. They were just squirming to open presents, but we always wanted a cup of coffee to get us moving [since we had been up all night putting together bikes and doll houses! ha!]. This kept them busy while we got the coffee going. It's cute,...

Categories     Other Breakfast

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 can(s) refrigerated crescent rolls
1/2 c butter, softened
1/4 c sugar
1 tsp cinnamon
1/4 c raisins or craisins
1 c powdered sugar
2 Tbsp milk

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350°. Wipe your cookie sheet with just a very thin smear of butter or veg oil. Don't overdo!
  • 2. Open the crescent rolls and place them end to end ... press the perforations of all the crescent rolls together, forming one long rectangle.
  • 3. Spread entire crescent dough rectangle with softened butter.
  • 4. Combine the sugar, cinnamon and raisins/craisins all together. Sprinkle the mixture over the crescent dough rectangle. (You can add some pecans to this step, too, if you desire, about 2 or 3 tablespoons, FINELY chopped).
  • 5. Roll up the rectangle along the LONG edge. Cut into 22 equal segments. Wiping your sharp knife with a buttered rag each time will make the cutting easier.
  • 6. Starting at the top of a large cookie sheet, place ONE roll. The second row will be TWO rolls, pyramid style. The third row will be THREE rolls...and so on, until you have SIX rows. This will use a total of 21 of the cinnamon rolls. The 22nd roll will be placed at the base of the tree for the stem.
  • 7. Place in pre-heated oven, and bake for about 20 minutes, until puffy and golden.
  • 8. Meanwhile, mix the powdered sugar and milk together. Note: you can substitute orange juice or apple juice for the milk. Once you've removed the baked rolls from the oven, drizzle the glaze onto the tree, zig-zag fashion, to resemble garland. Using strawberry flavored powdered sugar makes this especially pretty, and you can decorate "the tree" with cinnamon red-hots or other treats for Christmas morning.
  • 9. This will keep the kiddos from starving while they open presents, until you've had a chance to get something together for breakfast!

Tips:

  • Use a standing mixer fitted with a dough hook to make the dough. This will save you time and effort.
  • Be sure to let the dough rise in a warm place for at least an hour, or until it has doubled in size. This will ensure that your cinnamon rolls are light and fluffy.
  • When rolling out the dough, be sure to use a lightly floured surface. This will prevent the dough from sticking.
  • To make the cinnamon sugar filling, simply combine granulated sugar and ground cinnamon in a small bowl.
  • When spreading the cinnamon sugar filling on the dough, be sure to leave a 1-inch border around the edges. This will prevent the filling from spilling out when you roll up the dough.
  • To cut the dough into individual cinnamon rolls, use a sharp knife or a pizza cutter. Be sure to cut the dough all the way through.
  • Place the cinnamon rolls in a greased baking dish and let them rise for 30 minutes, or until they have doubled in size.
  • Bake the cinnamon rolls in a preheated oven at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 25-30 minutes, or until they are golden brown.
  • Let the cinnamon rolls cool for a few minutes before frosting them.

Conclusion:

These mini cinnamon rolls are the perfect treat for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. So next time you are in the mood for something sweet, give these mini cinnamon rolls a try.
